A new report from Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society is slamming Parks Canada for forsaking conservation in favour of cash.
“What we’ve seen over the last little while is a real trend, a movement from the primary legislated purpose of Parks Canada to maintain the ecological integrity and the safety of the nature within our parks to more of a tourism and experience-focused approach, which is creating all sorts of development pressures within our parks and is actually nibbling away at the very nature that these parks are intended to protect,” Éric Hébert-Daly, CPAWS’ national executive director, told CTV News Channel.
